Chicago's top doctor said she is closely watching COVID-19 trends in Western Europe where at least a dozen countries are now reporting a spike just days after lifting restrictions.

They first detected the omicron sub-variant called BA.2 in mid-January, but it hasn't taken off like the original. Doctor Stefan Greens expects BA.2 will hit 25 percent of all cases here soon.
"It is not a for sure thing that we will follow them. We may. But there are some other countries that have gone through an Omicron surge and have not seen that resurgence yet," said Arwady.
